PAPER PAIL.

To all whom fit may concern:

Be it known that we, BERTON I. RIKE and JOHN R. KUN, citizens of the United States, residing at Dayton, in the county of Montgomery and State of Ohio, have invented certain new an useful Improvements in Paper Pails; and we' do declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable ,others skilledin the art to which it appertains. to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the characters da thereon, which form a part of this specification.` l

This invention relates to new and useful improvements in paper pails, such as are commonly used for conveying oysters, ice cream, and the like insmall quantities. v The object of the invention is to provide a paper vessel of the above type having a tight and neat closure .which is easily and conveniently manipulatedl in opening and closing the vessel.

With the above object in view, the blank from which the vessel is formed is of such shape that it may be cut from the material or stock with the least possible Waste of material, and the cover or closure of the mouth of the vessel is suchthat any leakage of the liquid contents ofthe vessel is rendered imossible and the cover or closure of the vessel 1s exceedingly firm and rigid when closed and is suscepti le of vwithstanding an excessive amount of handling 'without materially weakening the vessel.

AI n-the acoompan in dr awings',Figure 1, is a plan view of a b an from whichvour improved paper vessel isl formed. Fig. 2, is a perspective view ofthe Vpaper vessel completed and closed. Fig. 3, 1s a perspective view -of the vessel partially formed. Fig. 4,

is an enlarged detail sectional view of the" -meeting edges of the-cover showing one of the clamps or fasteners. Fig'. 5,v detail views of the Abail end. Fig. 6, is a top view of the mouth of the-vessel showing it artly closed.`

`flaps 9,A 9 between'which and the extensions 6, .6 there are portions 12, 12 which fold on the score lines 9- between the parts 6 and 9,

lthe said portions 12 and 12 forming the outer meeting portions of the cover, see Fig.

2. The reinforcing ila s 9, 9bend outwardly and are secured to t e outer sides of the marginal folds 11, 11 which extend from the triangular folds 4, 4. I These flaps 9, 9 may be secured in any suitable manner, either by a fastening device or by a suitable adhesive substance applied thereto. The marginal folds l() and 11 it will be seen, are extensions of the triangular folds 4. and 5, and when these parts are folded with the folds 4 and 5 they both, to-Wit: the folds 10 andll lie a ainst the outer sides of the extensions 6 o said side Walls 2, 2,V andthe flaps 9, 9 secure the parts 6, 10 and 11 snugly together.

The extensions '6, 6 incline inwardly at the of the vessel when said vessel is closed. v

llt will be observed from the blank as shown in Fig. 1, and the artlyformed vessel as shown in Fig. 3, t e margins of the folds 10 land 11 incline downwardl from near the corners of the vesselwhen t e are folded, and bend on score lines 10 whic are continuations of the score lines upon Whlch the folds `l and 5 bend. The reinforcing flaps 9, 9 bendupon the score lines 9,.and when so bent the folds 12 lieagainst theI outer sides of the folds12, 12, and these'folds 12 and 12 form the engaging portions of the mouth of the,y vessel as before stated,I and .which are heldv together by metallic fasteners 13which are secured in a position to clamp over the folds 12, 12 and hold the mouth of the vessel rigidly together. When .the`closure folds 12 12 are thus brought together and held bythe clamps 18, they bend on the score lines 6 and 9". The free ends of the metallic fasteners 13 have portions stamped therefrom which Vprovide inturned edges 14 which, when said fasteners are made to clamp the mouth of the vessel, embed themselves into the outer` surface of the closurel folds 1.2 on one side and rigidly prevent the closure of the vessel from having any looseness or lateral movement.

It will be seen from Fig. 3, the fasteners 13 are attached to the folds 12, 12 on one side. 'lhe closure of the vessel is very firm and cannot be moved laterally to any extent whatever owing to this engagement of the fastening devices 13. There are two of said fastening devices, one at each end of the closure. The end walls 3,8 ofthe vessel have inwardl inclined extensions 7 'oined immediate y thereto and which bend inwardly on score Joining the extensions 7 aretwo marginalextensions 8 8 which bend upon diagonal score lines 7 which separate them from the extensions 7 and thus enable the parts 7 to bend in as shown in Fig. 2 The olds 8, 8 terminate in marginal -ortions 8 which extend and form parts'of t e margins of the folds 11. The margins 8', 8 ben( on score lines between parts -7 and 8, and when said margins 8', 8 arefolded in as in Fig. 2, they lie parallel with and are -engaged and inclosed by the meeting parts 12, 12 and thus cooperate with the parts 12, 12 in forming a liquid-tight closure see Fig. 4. When the closure of the vessel is brought together as in Fig. 2, vthe end extensions 7 lie inwardly on inclines as before stated, and the marginal extensions 8 lie against-the inner sides 12, 12 of the parts 12', 12 which, as before stated, form the meeting edges of the closure and are held together bythe metallic fasteners 13.

`In this position, the folds 8, 8 lie above the inwardly lying extensions 7, 7, and the mouth of vrthe vessel is most effeetually closed against any slopping of the liquid contents.

The wire ball 15 has its ends formed in hooks 1.6 which connect with eyes 17 on oposite sides of the vessel. The eyes 17 are ormed of wire which penetrate the top fia s 9, the triangular folds 4 and 5 and the sii e Iwalls 2, and are clenched a ainst the inner sides of said side Walls and t us hold the triangular folds 4 and 5 -and the flaps 9 in contact with the side walls; Q

We claim: I

1.- A rectangular paper pail having side and end vwalls joined b triangular folds which lic against the side walls, said side walls and triangular folds having closure extensions which are reinforced by downturned reinforcing flaps extending from the upper ends of the closure extensions of the side walls, the margins of the side wall eloasteners binding said meetin portions rigidly together to close the mout i of the vessel.

2. A rectangular paper pail having side and end walls joined b triangular folds which lie against the si e walls, said side Walls and triangular folds having closure extensions which are inclosed on their outer sides by down-turned reinforcing fiaps that extend from the up er ends of the closure extensions of the suie walls, the margins of the over-lapped ortions of said closure extensions of the triangular folds,'together with the margins of the side Wall closure extensions and the margins of the reinforcing fiaps forming the meeting portions of the closure, and metallic fasteners binding said meeting portions rigidly together to close the mouth of the vessel, said metallic fasteners penetrating said meeting portions on one side of the mouth of the vessel to maintain said meeting portions against any independent end-wise movement.

3. A rectangular aper pail havin side and end walls Joined y triangular fol( s, the end walls having closure extensions which bend inwardly and constitute in-lying portions of the closure, the side Walls having extensions which also bend inwardly and constitute out-lying portions of the closure, said side wall extensions being joined to reinforcing flaps which bend outwardly and downwardly and unite the closure extensions of the triangular folds and the closure extensions ofthe side walls, the margins of thel closure extensions of the end Walls and the margins of the closure extensions of the side walls and the margins of the closure extensions of the triangular folds providing the meeting edges of the vessel closure, and metallic fasteners clamping said meeting edges together to close the mouth of the vessel.

4. A rectangular paper pail having side and end walls joined by triangular folds, the side walls having closure extensions, the triangular folds having extensions which fold against the closure extensions of the sid'e walls, reinforcing flaps extending from the closure extensions of the side Walls and folding against said closure extensions and. against the extensions of the triangular folds, the closure extensions of the side walls, and the reinforcing flaps having a plurality of parallel score lines intervening between them which enable the closure extensions to be brought together at the mouth of the vessel, the end walls having closure extensions which bend inwardly over the mouth of the vessel and portions of which lie against the inner sides of the closure extensions of the side walls, the margins of the closure eXten In testimony whereof We affix our signasions ofthe side Walls and the margins of the tures, in presence of two witnesses. closure extensions ofthe end Walls, oo erat- BERTON I RIKE metallic fasteners secured to one side of the ing in closing the mouth of the vesse, and JOHN R KLIN yclosure and adapted to embrace the other Witnesses:
